Green Room, Hauser Room

Come discuss Five Bullets: The Story of Bernie Goetz, New York's Explosive '80s, and the Subway Vigilante Trial That Divided the Nation by Elliot Williams, with Chief Lichman.

CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams wrote a well-researched narrative of what happened on the New York City subway in December of 1984, when Bernhard Goetz shot Barry Allen, Darrell Cabey, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur at close range. Was it self defense as Goetz claimed or was he overly eager to use his gun on four teens from the Bronx. 

Read the book and share your thoughts with the group.
